The Spaniard picked up a calf injury at the end of last year and has not played a single minute in the new year. However, his goals per game ratio and minutes per goal are still enough to see of the competition right now, as none of the men ranked below him were able to capitalize on his absence.
Aspas has scored 10 goals from 17 goals and has a goals-per-game ratio of 0.59. He is averaging a goal every 144 minutes played so far and had been piling up the pressure on the men ahead of him for some time now. However, his injury had halted his run and has also affected his team, who have lost all four games in the month in his absence.
We will be hoping that the Spaniard will be back soon, but as of no,w he is 4th in the race to the La Liga Golden Boot.

About the author
Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
